His first firm, Epoch Networks, may be of some historical importance. But I don'�t see how anything in his career is independently notable  DGG ( talk ) 02:16, 11 September 2015 (UTC)  DGG ( talk ) 02:16, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - It looks like whatever notability he has is generally linked to being a part of Epoch Networks, which was and is a reasonably important organization it seems. Notability isn't temporary, but it looks like he's not really well known. The company is. I wouldn't be opposed to a redirect over to that page, I guess. I would delete Purcell's own article due to the lack of established reliable source coverage. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:39, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - notability of even a CEO is not automatically inherited. In this case, (a) the firms he has worked for or created are not that notable, and (b) there is scant information online about him. I'm willing to change my mind if somebody can fix this mess of "cites needed". Bearian (talk) 02:04, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Epoch Networks as it would appear that company is notable especially as it was the first of its kind and he's best known for that. SwisterTwister   talk  22:15, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Epoch Networks as per nom and above editors. Nothing on searches to show notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 03:07, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
